Currently Reading First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung.

 

It's about a little girl in Cambodia who's father was a high ranking military officer when the Communist Khmer Rouge took over. Her family suffers through constant migration, starvation and beatings. I'm only half way through it, but I will admit I was almost brought to tears in the last section while reading on the Metro!! Who cries on the Metro on their way to work? And I just realized I admitted to crying...key word is almost.

 

I think it is because this family in the book reminds me of my family and how similar we are in values, in culture and situations.

 

I still havne't figured out a way to put their stories into words, but I'm trying.
